to all of you we have just been through the process!!. should have exchanged last friday but solicitors held everything up meanwhile pickfords where packing up the house contents which are now enroute to auckland. finally exchanged contracts last night and complete today Next problem to deal with ! thought i only had to work a months notice, been told its 3 got to be in NZ by the 21st June!! I wish I could be one of those people who did things straight forward but oh no not me have to do the complicated route. Off now to plead with HR to release me from contract

Which turns out was a total lie as they still have no mortgage in place

Back to square one for us

So sorry to hear the above. Lets hope a better buyer turns round the next corner. Keep up the effort..you will sell. And when you do you will get a way better exchange rate!!

shelloid

oh Dewb, that's crap.....so sorry for you. another, better buyer will come along and be a cash purchaser and offer £50'000 above the asking price just to secure the house

don't want to jinx things but things may be looking a bit better on our UK flat front

Perry Groves

Just put our house on the market, had a few viewings, its been a week, so hopeful it may sell soon

Hi
Thought I d join this forum, We ve given ourselves a deadline till August if still have not sold we shall have to rent.
Just a warning to you all
We ve been told not to tell potential buyers that we are emigrating as some friends of ours on the day of signing contracts.The buyers turned around and demanded 5 thousand off the agreed price due to a loose tile on the roof. They knew that they d packed everything in the container and had there flight s booked. So had no option but to agree or delay there house sale. Just a warning to all
Good luck to everyone in the same boat as us

Hi & welcome, sadly this is not that uncommon
Good luck with the sale

so having mad the heartbreaking decision to pull out of our sale as fed up waiting for them to secure a mortgage. Serving 2 weeks notice on our estate agent, informing our solicitor we have had enough and are pulling out...............yep you guess they have now got a mortgage offer

Much agonising and berating of estate agent later we have agreed to go ahead with the sale

weighing it all up, the whole process has been a pain, still do not fully understand why it has taken them so long to secure mortgage. They are not in a chain, its an ok price & we can now get on with our lives. Oh and I dont have to keep flippin tidying up for new viewings

Cheeky things wanted to exchange contracts this Friday and complete
08th June erm no

Oh ...now I understand!!!
Don't despair, the buyers of last house we sold were messed about by their bank and it took 13 weeks to get to exchange .....hence so much time spent in kiwi bar
it all happens to plan now.....your plan tho!!

ahhhh well we are back to square one House back on the market

People putting offers on multiple houses is so annoying. Theirs not ours.

Well done Dewb for double bluffing .

Hi all
We have until September then our P.R runs out and you guesssed it we still have not sold our house but we do have a person interested in it but he has to sell his house first.
What we are going to do is if it dont sell.
My husband and son are going to go to NZ, son starts Collage in Bay of Plenty in july so he goes first then My husband will go in early September leaving me and my daughter in GB. If the house dont sell in time With me having the degree and qualifications to emigrate i will apply again for me and my daughter to join my family in NZ when house is sold. No other way around it as we dont want to rent our house out.
It is also cheaper to re apply than keep knocking thousands of house to get a sale.

Dewb09

oh no for get a sale soon

Has been so stressful, but light at the end of the tunnel
